Ibn Shazan says: “Abu Muhammad Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Abdillah al-Alawi At-Tabari (RA) told me: “Ahmed ibn Muhammad ibn Abdillah told me this hadith.” He (Ahmen) said: “My grandfather Ahmed ibn Muhammad told me this hadith from his father.” He said: “Hammad ibn Isa told me this hadith.” He (Hammad) said: “Umar ibn Uzaynah told me this hadith.” He (Umar) said: “I was told this hadith by Aban ibn Abi Ayyash on the authority of Sulaym ibn Qays Hilali, on the authority of Salman Farsi (RA)”
He said: “I went to the Holy Prophet (SAW). At that time Husayn ibn Ali was sitting in his lap. He noticed pleasure on his face and kissed him between his two eyes, and said to him: “You are leader, son of leader. You are Imam, son of Imam and brother of Imam, and father of Imams. You are Allah’s authority and the son of Allah’s authority, and the father of the authorities – nine who will be from your children. The ninth one of them will be their Qaim.”.”
